Gregory Villis, who happens to be a previous radar engineer, is feeling up to taking on the 2009 Mercury Mendip Challenge. This charity walk crosses the Mendip hills, and Villis is walking for charity but this does not mean he will not enjoy the hike in his comfortable hiking boots. His dad died at the age of seventy eight years old, when he finally succumbed to prostate cancer. Weston Hospicecare is the organization that sponsors the charity walk, and it is also the organization who took care of his father during the last days. This makes the walk even more sentimental for Villis, and he spends the time remembering the father that he loved during the walk each year.
